I'm from the tickle monster, drawing funny faces, from sharing secrets, and her always being there for me when I needed her, I'm from my mother.

I'm from 'hanging out' in the fields outside, from playing dolls or 'Famous person,' (which, by the way, was always me), from fake fashion shows, and staying up long past we were supposed to, I'm from best friends.

I'm from overcoming hardships, from good times and bad, but always finding a light in everyone.

I'm from everlasting hope, everlasting love, everlasting life...

Everlasting Me.
